Still in limited release 46 years after its premiere, it is the longest-running theatrical release in film history. In many cities live amateur shadow-casts act out the film as it is being shown and heavily draw upon a tradition of audience participation. The film is most often shown close to Halloween. Today, the film has a large international cult following and has been considered by many as one of the greatest musical films of all time. It was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress in 2005.
First time you saw the movie?
Plot:
-I like that even the 20th century fox intro is changed to to musical styling
-VERY obviously an homage to B horror/science fiction
-The intro lips were Patricia Quinn, Magenta in the movie.
-I love all the things going on in the background through damnit Janet. Very much a stage play.
-Its set in the 70's, but Brad and Janet are dressed in the 50's to show their naïvety
-Is the time warp one of the most fun songs of all time?
-Time warp is the whole reason I would want to play Riff Raff. It's the best song. Even the narrator gets into it.
-I love that they were leaving but Frank pulled them back in.
-Tim Currys look into the camera, when he says how quaint
-Think science will ever be able re-animate human bodies?
-This is the perfect movie for Meat Loaf.
-Tim Currys little facial tics and movements really make the character
-So Frank impersonating Brad, you'd think that would cause some issues today. Also, if shes "saving herself," and was so upset that he lied, she turned on that idea pretty quick with a "you promise you wont tell Brad"
-I love the same dialog with Brad and Janet.
-Susan Sarandon has some great boobs
-Dr Scott gets around pretty good on only that wheelchair. Also, like how when he's going up the stairs, you can see the wire pulling him.
-Its funny how "normal" the dinner is. Frank cutting the ham, pouring drinks, etc.
-That super fake Eddy body is awesome
-The medusafier makes them statues that are naked. Noice
-Who is throwing the switches during the floor show?
-Rocky is obviously not a dancer
-I like during Franks apology/explanation, he's not wearing much make up, showing his true self.
-The laser sound is hilariously terrible
